No. It uses a TCP connection. Each buffer received from the device
driver is sent along on the TCP connection with a 2-byte length prefix,
and that is it. So no DDCMP underneath.

OK cool.   Little-endian?

Big endian, I use htons() to prepare the length for network transmission.

If you want to really make your head spin, imagine DMP/DMV emulation
(DDCMP multipoint).

I've never really understood this.   Is it a broadcast net, or what?
I'm pretty sure I have a pair of DMVs in this mess somewhere...
